Can this travertine mosaic tile be used on a gas fireplace surround that gets to 150-180 degrees above the fireplace opening?

This stone comes from Oracle Tile and Stone. I would refer your question to www.oraclestone.com. I have this stone in my kitchen as a backsplash. It is very beautiful.

It will work only if the fireplace insert extends 5 inches or more out of the flush wall of the original firebox. This will give you a place to set the fan on. I doubt it would work well with a gas fireplace insert because the temperatures reached are not high enough to make the fan spin. It does work well with a wood fireplace insert.

Depends...if you dont plan on using fire place, i would check temperatures above fireplace when lit, check with safety codes for placement of items above fire place and would check to make sure there are studs located abovefire place for mounting.

Yes. The tile certainly can. I have also placed hot casserole dishes on the tile with no problems.

We use it at 425 - 450. It's stone/ceramic, so I think it would be OK since it was probably fired at a way higher temp than 600 when it was manufactured.

They are flimsy card board so heat probably will ruin them. I think they would be fine above a gas fireplace though

While I haven't tried it, I think the legs are too short. Though, you could probably stack bricks or similar under the four legs to increase the height. If you use a cast iron wood carrier in the fireplace to make sure the flaming logs have air underneath the challenge might be a little greater. The grate itself is cast iron, but since the grate bars are triangular, like a Toblerone chocolate, I imagine the flame will hit a larger surface area of the meat. Not sure it would work well. It might but I don't know.My gut tells me that this grill is best used over a bed of coals. While I haven't tried it, I think the legs are too short.

Yes,you can. I use it on travertine tile and it does a fantastic job! I hope this is helpful!!

yes but the gas pressure will have to be set for the elevation. Have it professionally installed and you should not have a problem. I have used my for 2+ heating seasons and I am still impressed by the efficiency. Great unit, very economical. I would definitely recommend tid unit.

I would think that it could be, because it puts out a low-grade amount of heat. Though, I would suggest putting it on a flat stone or tile first.

I would think so. We used it on travertine in our bathroom and it worked fine. We put on 1 layer and will reapply after 1 year to maintain the protection. So far we have been very happy with the results.

The fan I just bought starts movement fairly quickly on top of a Gas fired stove with and extra tile on top. I have not tested the temperature that it begins working but guessing 250 to 300 degrees F.

I have travertine floors and it works beautifully. Get the white pad to polish your floors. If you're looking to rehone the marble, get some diamond gorilla pads. Do some research on how to bring the wet look back. It's not hard. I got the wet look back on my travertine with the gorilla pads.

Tracy, i do not know what type of material travertine is made, however I can say that the miracle sealantqt etc worked great for the granite counter top on which I placed it.

I would say yes. I just used it on some white brushed finished travertine. It penetrated well and left no haze. Since the marble has a matte finish, I think the sealer would perform in a similar way.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Yes, but it's over kill. Carbide sanding disks 80-120-240-320 should get you there. There is not much you can do with the surface of travertine to make it like new.

Yes, if the opening of the fireplace is tall enough. You could even shorten it somewhat by sawing a few inches from the bottom of each leg. I'll use it in my fireplace when cold weather gets here.
